In a world where male children are rare, a man is a valuable commodityâto be sold to the highest bidderâĶ
Â
It isnât easy being the oldest boy in a house run by womenâespecially for Jerin Whistler. The grand-matriarchs of his clan are descended from soldiers, spies, and thieves. Thatâs partly whatâs kept their family alive in the wilderness. But it also means Jerinâs doomed to marry the girls next doorâa fate heâs convinced is worse than death. But Jerin gets in even worse trouble when, in the process of a daring rescue, he falls in love with a royal princess whoâs as high above his station as itâs possible to be.
Â
Ren knows that Jerin is too far below her class to be an appropriate match for her and her royal sisters. But then she hears rumors of a long-held Whistler family secretâone that might provide a way for them to finally be together. Unfortunately, she still has four sisters to convince. And thatâs before Jerin even comes to the capitalâwhere simmering political tensions will threaten not just their love, but all their lives...
